The event will be held at the Sandton Convention Centre, Sandton, Gauteng, South Africa, 1-2 August 2016.
This will be the first time such prominent universities will gather in one African venue to recruit prospective students from around the continent and convene with their alumni in Africa.
The two day Indaba will also connect over 500 like-minded entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, angel investors, and business leaders from around Africa to discuss the rise of the African consumer market; the art and science of entrepreneurship; raising venture capital; new technology business models; financing SMEs; and women trailblazers in business.
Eric Wright, director of the Africa MBA Indaba, says: “If you’re passionate about building businesses – Africa is your oyster. The continent is swiftly rising and needs more business school graduates to accelerate growth. Across the world, we see business school alumni creating innovative companies that employ thousands of people and in order for Africa to fully reach its potential, it will need to train and educate its youth in the fundamental principles of business.”
